Individual Assignment Instructions:
Research the library for articles describing a redeployment

Individual Assignment Resources. Be sure to back any assertions and/or personal
opinions with authority (library articles, for example). Develop the paper in
conformance with APA criteria. The length should be two-pages, excluding title
page and reference page. Use at least three library articles (articles from
class count toward the three library article requirement).

Individual Assignment Instructions:
For the individual assignment, create an
“integration essay” addressing the concepts related to reverse
logistics and/or OEM reverse logistics.  To accomplish integration, locate
multiple articles. They can be periodical magazine articles or
journal articles. Compare and contrast the ideas of multiple authors. Brief
summaries of the authors’ ideas are appropriate. However, most of the essay
should match to the verbs in the Bloom’s Taxonomy diagram. Select the
application and analyze a portion of the diagram to develop an acceptable
master’s level essay. Notice the product content of the article.
Be sure to apply APA formatting and include scholarly
articles to develop the essay discussion points.
